Author's Perspective: Type
2 diabetes is reversible, especially if you're willing to change your diet to a plant-based diet. However, following a plant-based diet is not a guarantee unless
your diet is balanced with the proper macronutrients and
micronutrients.

Although
there is no medically-approved cure for Type 2 diabetes, there is a lot
of evidence that indicates that you can definitely stop the progression
of the disease and prevent the development of the complications such
as amputation, kidney failure, and blindness. In addition, there is
evidence that you can reverse the cellular and tissue damage caused by
the diabetes and its complications.

More and more people are reversing their diabetes every day. Unfortunately,
some of our clients (before they found us) were burned by several "cure
diabetes" programs that made promises that they couldn't keep. The promises included being able to reverse your
diabetes in 6 weeks, 30 days, 1 week, and even 3 days! Are you kidding
me??

For any of you who understand the
science of diabetes pathology, you know that you can't get rid of
diabetes in less than 90-180 days because of the time it takes your body
to turn over your red blood cells and repair the other damaged cells.

But, unfortunately, the average person does not have a science background. And, these companies and some of these doctors know
that you lack the knowledge about science pathology. So, they take
advantage of your lack of knowledge and lure you in with their empty
promises and false money back guarantees.

If you're not sure whether the programs that you're researching are scams, then, read this web page so that you will understand how to recognize a scam before you spend your money.

List of Studies and Reports: Diabetes is Reversible
The list of medical experts who believe that Type 2 diabetes can be
reversed is growing. The following studies and reports are just a few of
the many cases that demonstrate that Type 2 diabetes is reversible in
this country and around the world.

Dr. Mehmet Oz says diabetes is reversible.
Acceptance is growing among the mainstream medical community that type 2
diabetes is reversible. Dr. Mehmet Oz is among the many physicians who
now say diabetes is completely treatable, and reversible, by making
better lifestyle choices

Note: Dr. Oz got into a little trouble with some of his TV show
sponsors, so he has had to back off making too many statements about
reversing type 2 diabetes, especially on national television (which is
controlled to a large extent by the pharmaceutical industry).

Reversing diabetes is possible
By Val Willingham, CNN
Bethesda, Maryland (CNN) -- Diabetes type-2 can be reversed. "We have
seen numerous people reverse their condition," says Dr. Michelle Magee,
director of the MedStar Diabetes Institute in Washington. "But it takes a
real dedication for the rest of their lives," she notes.http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/01/28/reverse.diabetes/index.html

UK Study shows diabetes is reversible
June 28, 2011
Researchers from Newcastle University have clearly shown that a strict
low calorie diet can actually reverse the condition by normalizing blood
glucose levels, reducing cholesterol levels and even stimulate the
pancreas’s insulin producing cells (beta cells) to return to normal!
However, this was a small-scale study and involved just 11 people; 9 men and 2 women.
The full study was published in the June issue of the journal Diabetologia.

TYPE-2 DIABETES CAN BE REVERSED?
World Entertainment News Network
06-27-11
A new study suggests an extreme eight-week diet can reverse Type 2
diabetes in people newly diagnosed with the disease. Researchers at
Britain's Newcastle University found the 600 calories-a-day diet reduced
fat levels in the pancreas and liver, which helped insulin production
return to normal. Seven out of 11 people who went on the diet, eating
only liquid diet drinks and non-starchy vegetables, were free of
diabetes three months later. But experts say more research is needed to
see whether the reversal is permanent. Lead study author Roy Taylor
says, "This diet was only used to test the hypothesis that if people
lose substantial weight they will lose their diabetes. Although this
study involved people diagnosed with diabetes within the last four
years, there is potential for people with longer-standing diabetes to
turn things around too."http://www.lef.org/news/LefDailyNews.htm

Study finds Type 2 diabetes partly reversible
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 | By Julia Brownell
Researchers at the School of Medicine have discovered that type 2
diabetes is at least in part an autoimmune disease. Their report,
published in this month’s Nature Medicine, shows that B-cells appear in
the inflammation of the visceral fat that precedes diabetes, and
controlling them with drugs can actually prevent insulin resistance in
mice on high-fat diets.http://www.stanforddaily.com/2011/04/19/study-finds-type-2-diabetes-partly-reversible/

(NaturalNews)
The mainstream media is just now catching on to what NaturalNews and
other natural health advocates have been saying for years: type 2
diabetes can be reversed through dietary and lifestyle changes, and
without the need for lifelong drug interventions. A recent report by CNN
says that improving one's diet, keeping off excess weight, and
regularly exercising, can help millions of people with diabetes get rid
of it for good.http://www.naturalnews.com/031233_diabetes_lifestyle.html

The majority of cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented by the adoption of a healthier lifestyle
Sept 2001
In a report in The New England Journal of Medicine, Walter Willett, MD,
PhD, and his colleagues from the Harvard School of Public Health
demonstrated that 91 percent of all Type 2 diabetes cases could be
prevented through improvements lifestyle and diet.

11 People (55%) Reversed Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes: Can a Vegan Diet Reverse Diabetes?
By Andrew Nicholson, M.D.
Early studies suggest that persons with type 2 diabetes can improve and,
in some cases, even reverse the disease by switching to an unrefined,
vegan diet. This is based on a carefully controlled test performed by
PCRM.

Working with Georgetown University, PCRM compared two different diets: a
high-fiber, low-fat, vegan diet and the more commonly used American
Diabetes Association (ADA) diet.

Fasting blood sugars decreased 59 percent
more in the vegan group than in the ADA group. And, while the vegans
needed less medication to control their blood sugars, the
ADA group needed just as much medicine as before. The
vegans were taking less medicine, but were in better
control.

While the ADA group lost an
impressive 8 pounds, on average, the vegans lost nearly
16 pounds. Cholesterol levels also dropped more
substantially in the vegan group compared to the ADA
group.

Medical research confirms lifestyle change can reverse diabetes
December 21, 1979
Medical research confirms that up to 50% of people with Type 2 diabetes
can eliminate diabetes risks and discontinue medication within three
weeks by adopting a low-fat, plant food diet and regular daily exercise.

Software executive cures himself of diabetes at the age of 30.
Mike Adams, now known as the Health Ranger, cured himself of diabetes in
a matter of months and transformed himself into the picture of perfect
health in mind, body and spirit. Mike dove into research; he devoured
thousands of books on nutrition, pharmaceutical drugs, wellness
programs, the politics of food - anything he could find.
Mike has now made it his life mission to share the most remarkable
discovery he made on his quest: the vast majority of all diseases can be
easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery. http://www.healthranger.org/bio.html

Diabetes is reversible
Mayo Clinic
Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when
your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to
be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs
during pregnancy.

Dr. Mercola: Not only is type 2 diabetes completely preventable,
but it is virtually curable for anyone who is willing to put in the hard
time and work and recovering their insulin and leptin sensitivity.

The Diabetes Conundrum: What Physicians Are Teaching You May be
Killing You - Read the surprising conclusion Dr. Rosedale, one of the
leading diabetic doctors in the country, reaches about the current state
of knowledge in diabetes.

The Rosedale diet: The real "cure" for diabetes is to eat a diet that promotes insulin and leptin sensitivity.

Natural Treatments For Diabetes: The Whitaker Wellness approach
is very effective in reducing and often eliminating the need for oral
diabetes drugs and insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The Whitaker Wellness Institute’s approach to diabetes is twofold: to
lower blood sugar and to reduce the risk of diabetic complications with
diet, exercise, and targeted nutritional supplements.

Diabetes Can Be Treated Without Drugs: Julian Whitaker, MD; Jul 03, 2009
"Hundreds of clinical trials demonstrate that diabetes can not only be
prevented but actually reversed -- not with drugs but with simple,
inexpensive lifestyle measures."

Health and Medicine: Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing
Diabetes (a vegan diet w/ low GI foods) outlines a nutritional approach
to diabetes that claims greater efficacy and fewer complications than
that of the American Diabetes Association diet, citing the examples of
study participants who successfully improved their ability to respond to
insulin, lost weight, and ended medication dependency.

The Diabetes Prevention Program study, a very large randomized
clinical trial , by Deborah Greenwood, MEd, CNS, BC-ADM, CDE: (the most
accurate study design) showed that you could reduce the development of
diabetes by 58% by doing some simple things. 1. Lose 5-10% of your body
weight by eating healthy, with calorie and fat reduction (only 25% of
calories from fat). 2. Engage in physical activity for at least 30
minutes five times per week. These changes can significantly reduce the
risk of developing diabetes. Other studies have looked at other types of
weight loss such as using meal replacements. The global consensus is
that if you lose weight and keep it off, you may be able to prevent
diabetes as well as improve blood pressure and lab values.

Raw for 30 Days is an independent documentary film that
chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting
entirely of vegan, organic, live, raw foods in order to reverse diabetes
naturally.
A medical team was established to monitor various health variables of
the subjects. The diet: "No meat, no dairy, no alcohol, no caffeine, no
refined foods, no junk food or fast food of any kind, no candies, no
sugar".
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes can be cured, or at least drastically reduce
blood sugar, hemnoglobin a1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc.

Note: Three of the largest studies ever done on the incidence of disease
are the Harvard Nurses Health study of 85,000 women, the Health
Professionals Follow-up study of 43,000 men, and the Iowa Women's Health
study of 40,000 women. All three studies showed that those people with
the highest levels of magnesium intake had the lowest risk for
developing diabetes.

PCRM study published in Obesity in 2007 shows that a vegan diet
helps people lose more weight and keep it off more effectively than a
more conventional low-fat diet that includes meat and dairy products.

Doctors that say type 2 diabetes is reversible include the following list of doctors. In fact, some of these doctors have even developed their own diabetes programs by taking
advantage of the raw food movement and the expanding acceptance of
plant-based diets. Unfortunately, most of these doctoors take the safe
approach and fail to mention the health issues with
cow's milk, gluten, wheat, and other so-called healthy foods. The reason
for this is that most doctors don't really understand the science of food
and nutrition. so, they take the easy way out and recommend the obvious
without being controversial.
